Episode notes

What does it mean to be faithful with what God has given you? In Matthew 25, Jesus tells the parable of the talents—a story about three servants who were each entrusted with something valuable. They didn’t receive the same amount, but they were each responsible for what had been placed in their hands. Comparison can make us overlook what God has already given us. Fear can convince us to bury our gifts, opportunities, resources, and influence while we wait for something bigger or better. But faithfulness doesn’t begin someday. It begins with what is already in front of you. In this message, we look at what Jesus teaches about comparison, fear, stewardship, and living with eternity in mind. Stop waiting for more and be faithful with what God has already given you.
